I have been using my Windows phone (Lumia 920) for a few days now. Brief thoughts follow:

Missing features that only Microsoft could forget

Reading a Kindle book in bed at night on my Lumia 920 is almost impossible because the 3 capacitive buttons (back, home, search) are lit up like nearby stars (ones so close they would boil the oceans dry) and cannot be dimmed

Calendar app has no ability to add bi-weekly or monthly events (yet inconsistently the online www.live.com calendar can do these event repetitions with no problems)

Pros

The graphical interface on this phone is beautiful and extremely functional

Wireless charging is brilliant

There is a Airplay app called “Airpla7” which does not work with Apple’s Bonjour but does work nicely to display photos via Apple TV

Windows Phone app is small, simple and fast compared to iRubbish (iTunes) which is huge, slow, bloated. and confusing to use

Cons

The camera app does not allow selection of photo size (or resolution). Say for example that you want to PXT (send a picture rather than a TXT message) then there is no easy way to take a photo that is small sized (e.g. 640x480px). Sending 8.7 MB photos is just not an option — and doesn’t work anyways,

Windows Phone app for Mac is a ripoff of iTunes. it requires a cable; there is no wireless sync option. The app failed to detect the phone first time, so I had to restart it. It crashed within a few minutes. Cannot drag and drop folders onto the app; can drag MP3 files but where do they go? I can see the MP3 file on the app and the phone but cannot delete the MP3 file using the app. The SYNC button is inaccessible (way of the screen to the RHS somewhere). Look at the mess below:
